Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is going to be the NBA’s best player in Orlando

Dallas Mavericks fans will get to see Luka Doncic leading the team later this summer. The NBA finalized their restart plan, and it passed a Board of Governor’s vote on Thursday. 22 teams will be playing in Orlando starting with eight regular season games each. There will be a play-in for the final spot in both conferences before the traditional playoffs tip-off.

This scenario was the best one on the table for the Mavs. It gives Dallas eight games to move up in the Western Conference standings. They could jump multiple teams in Orlando. The Mavericks cannot move back either. They are seven games up on the Grizzlies already. There is virtually no chance they slip to eighth. Fans can read more about why it is the perfect plan for the Mavs here.

The NBA is coming back. Fans will get to see how Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis perform in their first playoff experience. That alone should be exciting for supporters. Things are about to get better, though.
